LONDON: The Euro 2020 final between Italy and England on Sunday at Wembley is widely expected to be a close match that is decided by a good margin.
Here are the five main battles in the field that can swing the game in a team supporting: both Kane and Chiellini have enjoyed a fluent vehicle through the tournament, but both will be very important for their party’s hopes of winning the trophy.
Captain Kane was the top scorer in the qualification, but surprisingly looked no kind when he failed to score in the group stage.
But Tottenham striker, who won the Golden boot at the 2018 World Cup, has since risen with four goals in three KO matches to lead England to their first major tournament final for 55 years.
Veteran Center-Back Chiellini was limping in the first half of Italy’s second group against Switzerland and did not return until the quarter-final victory over Belgium.
But the captain of the Azzurri, along with a fellow Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, has played a major role in helping Italy hold onslaughtes from Belgium and Spain in the semi-finals.
The Manchester City Sterling winger has become a driving force behind England’s escape, scoring the winner against Croatia and the Czech Republic in the group stage before cleaning the opening goal in the last 16-6 years over Germany.
He also runs a danish ragged in the semi-finals, after establishing a kane opening against Ukraine in the quarter, and won the match winning spot.
In Lorenzo it is likely to be a man assigned to stop sterling on Sunday.
Napoli’s right-back has enjoyed a solid 2020 euro, but sometimes struggling against the pace of Jeremy Doku against Belgium, conceding penalties for unnecessary violations in adolescents.
Jorginho has been a heartbeat in the Italian midfield and one of the reasons behind the tactical shift that has seen Roberto Mancini enjoy more ownership than the Italian team before.
The Champions League winner is not so dominant in Spain, with the sensation of Barcelona Pedri’s teenager shining in midfield.
Only Chelsea star Jorginho and pedri who have more land in the tournament rather than Phillips, which was trained by Marcelo Bielsa who demanded famous at Leeds.
England will expect Phillips to be able to use his energy to use well and cancel the influence of Jorginho, as he did on Luka Modric for the old mantra of their opening match against Croatia.
Two star tournament players will go straight to the right wing of Italy.
Youghus Youngster Chiesa has signaled the defense with his speed and skills, scoring a brilliant goal against Austria and Spain.
Luke Shaw will be a man who was assigned to stop him, but Manchester United defender has become a threat of attacking, making three assists.
Both teams will expect that their men in this duel can keep others being occupied defensively, rather than being left free to run into space.
The front person in Italy did not move had not shot all the cylinders so far at Euro 2020, but still netted twice and had a brilliant note scorer for Lazio.
But he had to do his best to cause Maguire’s problem, with an English central defender after being impressed in every game since returning from an injury to the final group match.
Not moving can also be assigned by pressing Maguire to prevent playing advanced mice that often launched an English attack since he returned to the team.
